what tyre sizes you 16"ers using?

my stockies ran 195/55-16s.

when these were worn out, i replaced them with 205/50-16s.

the reason i went with the 205/50's was due to the high costs with the 195/50s.

i never had any issues with the 205/50s.
 
205 / 50 is too big on the N15 IMO, I thought Raceworx's looked like too much tyre.

By the same token, while the 195 / 45 I've got provides almost no tyre flex (Grip grip grip grip) as there's a bit of a stretch, I'll concede they do look a little small and provide no protection to the rim.

Ideally i'd have 205 / 45's but have to consider the price...a 205/45 will be about £20 a corner more expensive than 195/45 - you cna get T1-R's for £47.50 on 195/45 :)
 
my bad.

ignore my post.

yea 205/50 would definately be too big for the n15. i didnt read what section this thread was in lol. thought it was refering to n16s...
 
So whats the conclusion???
I need 4 new tyres on my n16 sxe at the mo it's got 195/55/16 on the rear as standard and
205/55/16 on the fronts.
The fronts fill the arch nicer, but are an extra £10 a corner for falken ziex's.
Which would i benefit from, don't mind about looks performance and fuel economy are more important
doind 2000 miles a month cheers

if you want to replace with 205/55/16s, I'll have some Hankook Ventus Evo V12's up for sale soon. They were only used for about 1000miles, two of the tyre still have the Hankook name visible on the tyre treads....
